responsible for receiving various stimuli and
coordinating the reactions of the organism.
nervous system (with endocrine and immune system)
receives stimuli that affect the body surface and/or the insides.
nervous system
The stimuli cause _________ that are registered, transmitted, processed and answered in the form of
passive or active reactions.
impulses
divides the nervous
system according to location into a central and a peripheral system.
morphological classification
includes the brain
(encephalon) and the spinal cord (medulla spinalis).
central nervous system
The spinal cord connects the CNS to the remaining parts of the organism or to the _________.
peripheral nervous system (PNS)
Functional classification differentiates between the ________ nervous system, which innervates structures under conscious control, and the autonomic (vegetative) nervous system.
Somatic (cerebrospinal)
The ________ nervous system is also called the vegetative nervous system.
Autonomic
The ________ nervous system innervates structures under conscious control, such as the locomotor system
somatic (cerebrospinal)
it functions involuntarily and remains beyond the conscious control of the organism.
autonomic nervous system
This system innervates the internal organs, the blood vessels, and the glands.
nervous system
This system assumes the control and coordination of the
internal organs
nervous sytem
SENSORY FUNCTIONS:
register stimuli from the
environment as in hearing, sight, taste, heat, cold, pressure,
pains, etc.
EXTEROCEPTORS (EXTEROCEPTIVE SENSIBILITY)
are concerned with
stance and position of the joints and muscles
PROPIOCEPTORS (PROPIOCEPTIVE SENSIBILITY)
react to stretch stimuli in hollow organs, blood
pressure (baroreceptors) or the blood pH (chemoreceptors),
ENTEROCEPTORS
RECEPTOR THAT REACTS TO BLOOD PRESSURE
BARORECEPTORS
RECEPTOR THAT REACTS TO BLOOD PH
CHEMORECEPTORS
MOTOR FUNCTIONS:
BODY MOTORICS
SOMATOMOTORICS
(motorics of the internal organs
VISCEROMOTORICS
The nervous system follows a common structural design, which can be classified functionally and structurally into different sections:
Nerve tissue
originates from the?
neuroectodermis
